After working with volunteers in the Unobtanium community to restore the Prototanium network, Jimmy asked me to take over this thread. The original dev has moved on. The dev removed his posts, but the OP remained.

Below is the OP as originally posted.

--------

Here's something I've been toying with since seeing someone on that other forum request for a testnet chunk of coins. Testnet has been live in Un since 0.9.5ish, but no one's used it much. I got to thinking that testnet coins for a coin that has a great following might also be fun to mine, since they have the exact same type of rewards structure. To that extent, I present:

Prototanium is a main-net storage vault that is 100% compatible with the Un testnet chain. It is based entirely on the 0.10.x branch of Unobtanium but supports synching and using the testnet chain of Un instead of its own blockchain!

Prototanium (prototype unobtanium) synchs the live Unobtanium testnet; this means its a way to utilize this valuable sidechain of Unobtanium directly and allow running wallets for both networks without command line switches. It also allows for pools, block explorers, and exchanges to interact with the Un sidechain without need for recompile.

The best part is, if you're using the Un testnet now; you can already send and receive Prototanium! Everything is compatible and linked between the networks. Prototanium will give you the option of using the Unobtanium/testnet3 directory on the first run--you don't need to, but you can if you're already using the Un testnet. You can also choose to install it in to Prototanium or any other directory--on *nix, the default is ~/.Prototanium to avoid issues with daemons already running on machines and to allow Un and Pr to be run together.

Completely fairly launched because its been in the client for more than a year. As of current count, there are only about 35,000 blocks on the network and most of them I mined while working on this project. I have a few 1% chunks I am willing to part with, asking 10Un for 2500Pr, PM if you'd like.

Unobtanium - the rare, fair cryptocurrency. Long term hodl. 250k Uno max. Low inflation. In it's 3rd year. This is a coin you want to hold. http://unobtanium.uno

I'm having the hardest time getting the miner to connect. I haven't mined a coin in such a long time - I think I forgot how to mine one! LOL! Anyway, I had to setup a new directory when I installed the client. Created a prototanium.conf file and populated with everything. No matter what I do cgminer won't connect. I get the URL / name / password error. I'm running the client and cgminer on the same box... but for the life of me I can't connect. I'm using 127.0.0.1. Below is my simple conf file

Hah, yea, off the top of my head, you need a port higher than 555 I think, maybe daemon=1 too; but I believe that 0.10.x coins don't have getworktemplate to mine directly against and need stratum.

Someone make a pool!

Yea, I was using 22555 before I started going with the most basic port / username / password. I'm falling behind the mining curve. I was wondering why I couldn't mine the coin. About a week ago I was trying to mine a newer coin on my VM and was getting the same issue, so now I know.

Good idea, but I'm a little confused - does this use the same ports as UNO? I'd like to add it to my merge mined p2pool node, should I use the same ports as UNO & just point it at it's own data directory?
